The caliber of the redcoat cannon, after all, is placed there.

Although it is not as powerful as the cannon, it is far superior to the mortars equipped by the Haw Par Army.

In addition, the new army of Ganning had no experience in dodging artillery fire at all, and the five thousand attacking troops were densely packed together. The nine flowering shells that roared down directly caused 100 casualties to the Ganning New Army.

However, there are too many people in the Ganning New Army after all. The nine flowering bombs had just exploded nine gaps in the crowd, and the follow-up troops of the Ganning New Army went forward to fill the gaps.

The only regret is that the firing speed of the redcoat cannon is too slow......

After the first round of artillery fire, the Ganning New Army advanced more than 100 steps forward again, and the nine red-coated cannons arranged in the city completed a new round of reloading.

The cannon sounded, and nine more flowering shells flew out of Qingchuan County with a scream.

Round after round, nine red-coated cannons fired five rounds of flowering shells in a row, after eliminating six or seven hundred Ganning new troops.

The mighty Ganning New Army had already rushed to a position less than a mile away from the city wall......

At this time, the seven medium-sized mortars that had already been ready to launch also let out a roar.

Compared to the redcoat artillery, the mortar is not very powerful. However, the rate of fire turned out to be very fast......

Under the combined attack of red-coated artillery and medium mortars, more than 4,000 Ganning New Army paid a heavy price of more than 600 men after only rushing forward more than 200 steps.

However, this blow is only the beginning for the Ganning New Army.

At a distance of 200 paces, more than a dozen light mortars followed into the battlefield.

Time. The explosion of flowering shells resounded incessantly outside the city. It's like thunder. A steady stream of ringing.

Finally, after paying a full two thousand casualties. The remaining 3,000 men of Ganning's new army finally rushed to a position less than one hundred and fifty paces from the city wall.

The Ganning New Army, which was pressed and beaten all the way by the artillery of the Tiger and Leopard Army, was immediately divided into two.

The sword and shield hand, holding a shield and a grenade, continued to attack.

Musketeers, drop their shields. Raise your musket, aim at the city, and pull the trigger without hesitation.

At this time, on the city wall outside the city, there was a surprisingly unanimous sound, and a round of gunshots like bursting beans rang out together.

The only difference was that the gunfire outside the city was more intense than on the city walls.

However, the results of this round of firing had nothing to do with the intensity of gunfire.

The new army of Ganning with more musketeers, because it is completely exposed to the Haw Par army musketeers. Face the whistling buckshots. There's nowhere to hide. In the blink of an eye, there were more than fifty of them. Fall to the ground.

The more than 400 musketeers of the Haw Par Army guarding the city lost more than 20 people because of the protection of the city stampede......

For such a result, the regiment commander Xiao Dan not only did not have any smile on his face, but also showed a strong expression of worry.

Because, with the strength advantage of the new army of Ganning, even if a musketeer under his command exchanged ten lives for the opponent, he would not be able to defend the Qingchuan county under his feet. What's more, just after the shooting, the lives of one of the musketeers under his command were exchanged for the death of three Ganning new troops.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dan, who frowned, had to change his playing style.

Facing his subordinates, he ordered in a deep voice: "Red-coated cannon, stop shelling...... If reinforcements of the Ganning New Army are discovered, interception and shooting will be carried out immediately......"

"All mortars, concentrate firepower, and bomb the new army musketeers ...... Ganning"

"All the musketeers of the battalion, equally concentrate their fire, shoot the opposing musketeers......"

"As for their sword and shield bearers, leave them all to the bombardier to clean up ......"

"On my order, all the logistics and baggage units of the regiment will go up to the city wall to act as bombardiers...... All the grenades thrown out must be guaranteed to explode in the air, and the new army of Ganning must not be allowed to throw grenades on the city wall and kill and injure us. ”

More than 20 mortars and hundreds of muskets were all aimed at the musketeers of the new army in Ganning, and their power can be imagined.

In just four or five rounds of firing, more than half of the more than 1,000 musketeers were lost.

However, more than a thousand sword and shield men, who had not been attacked in any way, took advantage of this opportunity and successfully rushed to a position fifty paces away from the city wall.

Perhaps knowing that the Haw Par Army was about to use grenades, the sword and shield hand, who had just blocked the shield in front of him, directly put the shield on top of his head to prevent the grenade from being able to kill him.

Not to mention, after the grenade exploded in the air above their heads, the shield on top of their heads directly blocked most of the grenade fragments that fell from the sky.

Many of the new Ganning troops were under the cover of shields, dodging grenade attacks.

Faced with this sudden accident, the head of the regiment, Xiao Dan's brows furrowed again.

He was experienced in combat, and without thinking about it, he ordered: "Order, all bombardiers, speed up the bomb dropping...... Now, I don't ask for all grenades to explode in volleys......"

A shield on the head that blocks fragments from a grenade's volley. However, it could not stop their feet, and after the grenade exploded, fragments flew out in all directions.

Therefore, the results of this round of more than 300 grenades were obviously greater than those of the first round.

However, at this time, the remaining sword and shield hands of Ganning's new army had successfully rushed to a position thirty steps away from the city wall.

The grenades emitting white smoke were quickly held in the hands of Gan Ningxin's saber and shield hand. Then, with all his might, he threw it at the head of the city......

Hundreds of grenades, as long as a hundred fall on the head of the city, will bring a devastating blow to the defenders of the city.

Therefore, at the moment when the grenade flew towards the city, the face of the regiment commander Xiao Dan immediately turned pale.

To Xiao Dan's relief, the Ganning New Army outside the city would use grenades, but they didn't know how to maximize the power of grenades.

There were a lot of grenades that fell on the city, but because the new army of Ganning threw them too early.

None of the white-smoked grenades exploded after they landed.

The time before the explosion was short, though. However, this was enough time for everyone to throw most of the grenades off the walls.

So, there were not even thirty grenades that really exploded on the city walls.

However, these grenades alone were enough for the defenders of the city to drink a pot.

The grenade exploded, and under Xiao Dan's eyes full of heartache, almost a hundred soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army fell directly to the head of the city, angry and unknown.

However, these sword and shield hands who were lucky enough to rush here are lucky to come here, and it is over.

The moment the grenade exploded at the head of the city, more than 200 grenades also flew out of the city wall and landed next to them and exploded.

In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left of the hundreds of sword and shield hands.

Even if they threw another round of grenades at the city, it would not be possible to cause much damage to the defenders of the city.

After all, there are so few of them...... (To be continued......)
